Step 1
**5' splice site**: Mutations at the 5' splice site can disrupt the recognition of the splice site by the spliceosome, leading to aberrant splicing or exon skipping. Show more…

Which of the following mutations will LEAST likely lead to a non-functional protein product of a 7-exon gene in a eukaryotic cell? A point mutation that prevents the recognition of the splice junction between exon 1 and 2 A two base pair deletion exon 6 A nonsense mutation in exon 3 A three base pair deletion in exon 2 A one base pair deletion in exon 4
